Hi,
I have an app that I need to set some values in the CurrentUser and
LocalMachine of the Registry. If the user has administrator previledges, no
problems occur. However, if the user if of type "limited" or
non-administrator, I receive an exception when trying to write in the
LocalMachine.
How can I bypass or impersonate the administrator to enable the app to write
values in the LocalMachine.
Thanks again,
RF

Why don't you set the permissions on the key instead. "Bypassing" certainly
won't work, and impersonating an administrator is probably a bad idea.

You have to request permission to write
System.Security .Permissions.Re gistryPermissio n permission = new
System.Security .Permissions.Re gistryPermissio n(
System.Security .Permissions.Re gistryPermissio nAccess.AllAcce ss,@"HKEY_LOCAL _
MACHINE\Softwar e\MySoftware\My Key");
permission.Dema nd();

Using Access 2000 and 2002
Have set up user-level security with a new .mdw file (secured.mdw).
I open my database with a short cut whose target includes a command line option
for the workgroup .mdw file. This seems to work for the user-level security.
However, if I go directly (through Explorer) to the Access .mdb file of my
program (Program.mdb) and double click to start this .mdb file, the program
opens without any security!!

Can my program access the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software section of the
registry when being used by a user with restricted rights (not with admin
rights)?
If so, how? I have a program that functions just fine when run by an
administrator but generates an exception when run by a restricted user. The
program accesses the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software section to set or get
application settings that are not user specific.
Thanks,

Hey There,
I was able to change the access rights to a file through adding an
ACE to the DACL of a file. I have two questions that I am still trying
to get resolved regarding this:
1). When I reboot the machine, the Access Rights go back to the
previous settings, how do I get the modified Access Rights to stick
across reboots?
2). Also, is this information kept in the registry? If so, where in
the registry is it kept?

Hello,
I have an in house application that we developed, but everyone who
needs to use the program are not allowed to be local admins on their
PCs. I was wondering if there was a way to code the application to
not require admin rights (for modifying/creating excel and text files
as well as modifying the registry)?
And I was wondering if there was a way around needing admin rights for
creating a setup package for the program?
